The legendary Amadou & Mariam graced End of the Road tonight with their electrifying fusion of afrofunk and rock 'n' roll.
Not even the incessant rain could dampen the dance party at the Woods Stage as the Malian duo unleashed one irresistible groove after another, with the assistance of two drummers and the world's most effervescent bassist.
Keeping things fresh by incorporating a number of styles both Western and African, their 75 minute set was an almost flawless exemplar of the art of festival performance, and left the audience abuzz with energy and delight.
